Cherry Hill Jail Booking Data
Cherry Hill is one of the largest townships in Camden County. People arrested here are booked at the Camden County Correctional Facility at 330 Federal Street in Camden. Cherry Hill police handle the initial arrest and then move the person to the county jail for processing. Each booking creates a record that includes the person's name, charges, and intake date. Camden County runs a free online inmate search tool that shows who is in custody right now.

The Camden County Correctional Facility processes all bookings from Cherry Hill. The jail is at 330 Federal Street in the city of Camden.

After booking, a judge reviews the case. Under N.J.S.A. 2A:162-15, New Jersey courts use a risk score to decide if a person can be released before trial. Many people booked from Cherry Hill are let go within a day if the court deems them low risk. Others are held until their case reaches a resolution. The booking record tracks each step from intake through release.

How to Search Cherry Hill Booking Releases
Camden County runs a free online inmate search tool. Go to the Camden County Inmate Inquiry page to use it. You can search by name, subject number, or booking number. The tool pulls from the live jail roster. Results are current. You do not need to sign up or pay.
The search results show the person's name, charges, and custody status. You can see if they are still held or if they have been released. The tool covers all bookings at the Camden County Correctional Facility, not just those from Cherry Hill. If you know the person was arrested in Cherry Hill, the results will still come from the county jail system because that is where the booking record lives.
If the person is not in the county jail, check the state tools. The New Jersey Department of Corrections inmate finder covers state prisons. VINELink sends free alerts when custody status changes. The New Jersey Courts portal at portal.njcourts.gov lets you search criminal case data tied to bookings across the state.
Cherry Hill Public Records Requests
The Open Public Records Act gives you the right to ask for booking and arrest records. For county jail records, the OPRA custodian is Maria Efstratiades. You can reach her at (856) 225-2131. The Camden County OPRA page has the request form and filing instructions. Under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5, the county must respond within seven business days.
Most booking data is public under the law. Names, charges, booking dates, and release information are not sealed in most cases. The county may charge a small fee for copies. If a request is denied, you can appeal to the New Jersey Government Records Council. The GRC reviews disputes and can order the release of records if the denial was not proper.
For Cherry Hill police records such as arrest reports, you file with the township. The statewide portal at njopraportal.com lets you submit requests to many agencies in one place.
Camden County Sheriff and Cherry Hill Warrants
Sheriff Gilbert Wilson leads the Camden County Sheriff's Office at 520 Market Street in Camden. Call (856) 225-7630 for general questions. The sheriff serves warrants across the county, including Cherry Hill. When a warrant is served, the person is arrested and booked at the county jail. This creates a new booking record.
A bench warrant can result from a missed court date. Per N.J.S.A. 2B:12-21, a judge may issue one when a person fails to appear for a hearing. An arrest warrant comes from a criminal complaint filed by a police officer or prosecutor. Both types of warrants lead to a booking at the Camden County Correctional Facility.
Warrants are public records. You can call the sheriff to ask about active warrants. The booking that follows a warrant is also a public record under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.
Cherry Hill Court and Booking Case Data
The Camden County Superior Court is at 101 South 5th Street in Camden. The Criminal Division phone number is (856) 379-2200. When a person is booked after a Cherry Hill arrest, their case moves through this court. The judge reviews charges, sets release conditions, and schedules hearings. The Camden County vicinage page has court schedules and contact details for each division.
You can search case records online through the New Jersey Courts portal. Enter the person's name or case number. The system shows charges, court dates, and case status. Each court case ties back to a booking. If you have a case number from a Cherry Hill arrest, you can use it to find the related booking data and release information.
Lower-level offenses may be handled at the municipal court level in Cherry Hill. The township runs its own municipal court for disorderly persons offenses and traffic matters. Check with the municipal court clerk if you are not sure where a case was heard. Bookings tied to municipal charges may not appear in the county jail system if the person was given a summons instead of being held.
Cherry Hill Booking Release Process
New Jersey moved away from cash bail in 2017. Under N.J.S.A. 2A:162-17, the court now looks at risk factors when deciding if a person can go home before trial. After a Cherry Hill booking, a judge reviews the charges and the person's background. The court checks for flight risk and public safety concerns. Most people facing low-level charges are released on conditions.
- Release on own recognizance
- Release with court-set conditions
- Pretrial monitoring or check-ins
- Detention if the court finds high risk
- Monetary bail in limited cases
The booking record shows the outcome. It notes when the person was released and under what terms. If the person is held, the record shows they remain in custody at the Camden County Correctional Facility. This data is updated as the case moves through the court system.
The reform changed the speed of releases. Many people from Cherry Hill are out of the jail within hours of being booked. The old system kept people locked up if they could not pay bail. The new system focuses on risk instead of money.
